Some New Romantic

basically just lots of me being dramatic about music and film and Dante and dandyism

Whilst I no longer identify as emo it will always be in my soul. I couldn't escape it even if I wanted to. Not a day goes by in which I don't at least slightly think about Gerard Way

How I imagine an Eighth Doctor and Charley Pollard TV adaptation of the audio dramas could have looked

Like some New Romantic looking for the TV sound

"I shall miss you Withnail"

Okay but this goes so hard

My entire fashion sense at this point is just "Lord Byron". But like, how on earth do you explain that? Or buy that? Is it a bit gothic? Is it Regency era? Is it just the aesthetic of a poet? Do I need to purchase a bear and cause controversy to complete the look?

The venn diagram of Withnail & I fans and Eighth Doctor enjoyers is a circle. There, I said it.

Where do they expect us Edwardian dandy women to put our pocket watches when there are no pockets in women's waistcoats??? A tragedy and an injustice.

Found this in an amazing second-hand bookstore and almost damn-near died

I love comedies that are like one step away from being tragedies. Wacky lighthearted sitcoms that are actually really really sad shows when you stop to actually think about literally any of the characters' lives or backstories. Silly goofy comedy movies that are really silly and goofy until that one moment where they're suddenly not anymore.
